Essence that move in you
water maybe fog

I am both

the loneliness of spirit
tangible touching
would you feel me in twilights dreams
haunting  breath   upon your shoulders

I reach for speech  that
will not greet me
gelid--  moment to moment
stillness fills this night
darkness my days

I wish winter away,
its' whisper and soul

Last night I fell asleep without you
beside me, drifitng in and out
trying to find comfort

tomorrow will be harder
-- the day long
and again I will

hope&pray
upon silent waters still

We are hues of each other
on   polished  stone

but tonight--

I sleep with tears


~~**~~
Walking with bare feet
among a tapestry of words,
each woven thread, awakening the soul

This poem is so sad. I almost had tears in my eyes. Awesome poem.

Lauren, this is longingly, achingly beautiful.  I haven't told you enough how much I enjoy your writing.  This gets me:

"We are hues of each other
on   polished  stone

but tonight--

I sleep with tears"

Saving this one

L~ am still keeping you and yours in thought and prayers. This write aches of your love and speaks volumes of the soul in you that I have come to know and love so very much.  Hugs dear sister.

Hope and Prayer, dear...
two very powerful movements
that bring many good things...

You are not alone.
